Lonsdale Street

The vision for a renewed Lonsdale Street was for it to become one of Melbourne’s great boulevards, a green and pedestrian-friendly main street with the retail and business vibrancy of a capital city.

The project responded to community feedback received during the RCD initiative’s Shared Vision and master plan consultation periods and major construction works were completed in April 2011.

The transformed street acts as a gateway to central Dandenong, uniting the two halves of the city centre. Lonsdale Street now provides the setting for a future mix of spaces to meet and socialise including cafés, restaurants, open spaces, gardens, civic spaces and community facilities.

The redeveloped Lonsdale Street was awarded the National Award for Excellence in Urban Design at the 2014 National Landscape Architecture Awards. The award recognises the redevelopment of Lonsdale Street into a green and pedestrian-friendly main street.

The renewed Lonsdale Street features:

251 Pin Oak trees

260 carriageway, service lane and footpath lights, compared to approximately 60 before the upgrade commenced
